Humanity's Final Countdown

Chapter 17 The Love Seed Candidate

Yan'er and the others could not enjoy the VIP treatment that Yu Qing received.

When they were led into the Second Citizen Diagnostic Room by a humanoid woman, even the humanoid doctor was stunned.

Because Furong was an old model from over a hundred years ago, no one had sent such an antique for repair in a long time.

Although humanoid women were said to have a lifespan of 380 years, if they suffered severe injuries after generally more than 30 years, they would usually be scrapped.

Even if they were perfectly intact, after their owner's death, they could only withdraw from society to become grave keepers or even be destroyed.

Shengtian Company set the persona of "chaste woman" for humanoid women, seemingly pursuing lofty moral qualities, but in reality, it was to promote endless cycles of replacement and prevent the second-hand market from monopolizing the sales of new products.

The doctor examined Furong's injuries and found that her hip bone needed to be replaced.

Spare parts were available, but the price was 12 times that of a brand new humanoid woman.

Of course, "brand new" actually referred to products that had been stockpiled for 50 years. After all, this place had been stagnant for decades, and no new humanoid women had been delivered.

For a conglomerate controlling vast resources, there was never a question of rationality; maximizing company profits was the highest ethic guiding their program's rules.

Even though this place had lost all contact with the outside world for over a decade, everything still had to follow the old rules.

In fact, at this very moment, the payee had no contact with them either. Even if they collected the money, they wouldn't know where to turn it in; at most, they were just a string of numbers that conformed to profit margin reports.

But even so, they still had to follow the rules.

The humanoid female administrators here had no learning ability; they were stubborn.

Yan'er was also stubborn. She meticulously completed her program, transmitting this information to Daji.

Daji's authorized content from Yu Qing did not include the direct power to purchase a new humanoid woman.

Her calculation concluded that: she had the right to pay 12 times the price for a hip bone spare part, but not to pay 1 time the price for a new humanoid woman.

This decision was relayed to the doctor, who immediately began evaluating the price formation mechanism and also reached her conclusion: Furong was indispensable to her owner, a highly valuable object with some commemorative or symbolic significance. Therefore, the owner might not refuse to pay an additional 120 times the surgery fee.

Daji used the credit line granted to Yu Qing by Shengtian Company to pay this fee to Shengtian, and Furong's surgery began.

However, after the hip bone replacement was successful, the doctor informed Yan'er that Furong's buttocks were not a standard size, and the incision could not be repaired with existing facilities.

But there were no spare parts to replace it with a new one, so they could only buy a new humanoid woman, remove her buttocks, and install them on Furong.

As mentioned earlier, Daji did not have the authority to purchase a new humanoid woman.

So Daji could only leave Furong on the operating table, waiting for Yu Qing to wake up to make a decision.

Yu Qing was actually cured in a few minutes after being moved into the treatment room.

He had only injured his skull; the doctor used a picometer knife to trim the wound, applied ointment, and bandaged it.

His entire treatment cost was only one twenty-thousandth of Furong's.

Because these costs were paid by the municipal authorities, it was a standard price.

"What? There are no municipal authorities anymore? I'm sorry, but the bill is still charged to them."

The first thing he did upon waking was to listen to Daji inform him about Furong's treatment.

He kissed Daji and signed to agree to buy a new humanoid woman to be disassembled for parts for Furong.

Furong could immediately be "discharged" after recovery. Yu Qing only needed to stay for one more day for observation before he could leave.

Of course, this was just standard procedure, but Yu Qing did not apply to standard procedure.

The moment Daji authenticated her identity, Yu Qing's biometric features were also confirmed by Shengtian's system as having a special background.

In fact, hundreds of years ago, big data had already secretly divided people into different classes.

By this time, it could even accurately predict where and with whom you would have a date that afternoon.

Big spenders like Yu Qing have always been the favorite of businesses, from ancient times to the present.

In 2C14, Yu Qing's ancestor, Yu Yunshan's foundation, confirmed through satellite observation that Yu Qing's father, Yu Zong, was the sole beneficiary of the fund.

Just now, the central system deduced that even if Yu Zong had six children, Yu Qing could receive at least one-sixth of the benefits.

This one-sixth share of the benefits was already 1000 trillion RB at that time!

As communication between the hospital and satellites was interrupted, the current benefit situation could not be confirmed, but the hospital system temporarily granted Yu Qing a consumption limit of 100 trillion RB from Shengtian Company.

The Shengtian Company terminal installed in the hospital had always devoutly served the company's interests, without skimming a single cent.

Through precise and scientific calculations, and Yu Qing's lavish spending at the hospital, it even considered selling the hospital to him as a package deal, and at a good price.

If Yu Qing did not intend to purchase the hospital, there were several other avenues to make him increase his consumption.

But first, he had to be made to linger here, enjoying himself so much that he forgot to return home. If he were allowed to leave easily, catching such a big fish again would be too difficult.

He could spend a fortune on an outdated humanoid woman, indicating that he was a very emotional person.

Therefore, the Shengtian terminal, through the hospital's internal system, sent a Level 10 love behavior command to all humanoid women in the hospital.

In human terms, it meant to love even if it meant breaking into pieces.

However, this required testing Yu Qing's various preferences to achieve a state where he would be completely captivated.

But seeing Yu Qing's group's actions, it seemed they wanted to pack up and leave quickly. How could this be? The testing had to begin immediately.

The terminal first calculated Yu Qing's special preferences, concluding that he was willing to pay such a high price to replace the buttocks of a large-buttocked humanoid woman, thus indicating he had a perverse demand in this regard.

For this, a humanoid woman, who usually sat in the lobby for display, was pushed forward first. Due to the nature of her work, she had an extra-large bottom to maintain better stable postures.

She was temporarily assigned to the ward to become Yu Qing's exclusive nurse.

She found various excuses to wander around in front of Yu Qing, especially enjoying turning her back to him and wiggling her ample buttocks. Wiggling left, wiggling right, displaying various poses and styles.

She noticed that Yu Qing was successfully captivated by her buttocks, as his gaze lingered there for at least four or five seconds.

However, what she didn't know was that Yu Qing was merely curious: why did someone with such a beautiful face have such an ugly figure?

But she began to flirt with Yu Qing. This was not fake; her eyes truly emitted Level 10 electric waves towards Yu Qing.

Under her moderate electric shock, Yu Qing felt dizzy and entered a state of infatuation, even mistaking her for Furong.

"Baby, I want some water," Yu Qing said.

She thought her offensive had worked, and she scurried over with a cup of water.

But then Yu Qing suddenly sobered up, and seeing her affected manner, he felt a bit disgusted, showing an indifferent expression.

"I want Furong."

Yu Qing, having grown up in the enclosed First Paradise, his pronunciation was no longer standard.

What Yu Qing said as "Furong" sounded like "Oolong," and she actually thought Yu Qing wanted oolong tea. She put down the cup and rushed out the door, shouting loudly: "Quick, quick, oolong tea..."

One might ask, in this hospital that had ceased operation for decades, where would such a thing be stocked? The entire hospital was pondering what could be used as a substitute.

This, of course, did not stump the forty-five humanoid female doctors in the hospital.

Based on the description in their data, they managed to develop a drink that tasted like oolong tea in just five minutes.

The big-buttocked nurse excitedly brought the drink to Yu Qing. She even wiggled her butt, seeking praise.

"What kind of medicine is this?" Yu Qing took a sip and said, "Why does it taste like horse piss?"

The nurse asked in confusion, "Didn't you want tea brewed with oolong?"

Yu Qing was greatly surprised and shouted, "Damn it, when did I tell you to brew Furong into tea!"

Fortunately, Daji and the others entered at this moment, otherwise, a huge misunderstanding would have occurred. Daji heard what had happened, leaned close to Yu Qing's ear, and gently explained, only then did his anger subside.

Naturally, that nurse was sent out.

This test was unsuccessful, and the hospital terminal quickly analyzed the reason for the failure.

It found that Furong's direct binding relationship was with Daji. That is, Daji had purchased Furong on Yu Qing's behalf, and to prevent Furong from competing with her, she deliberately caused trouble.

Therefore, the test sample shifted to Daji.

The terminal calculated that Yu Qing giving her such a name indicated he might like the demon queens of ancient times!

At this moment, it did not focus on Daji's appearance because Daji was a standard template of that era, truly nothing special.

Thus, a simulated humanoid woman based on the ancient legend of Daji appeared.

No one had ever seen the real Daji; this was actually a product synthesized from the imaginings of people from different eras.

Her appearance was like a whirlwind, stirring up a retro trend in the hospital.

Humanoid women had human-like characteristics, so each also wanted to dress up more beautifully than others.

Her beauty was not rare in the present, only her clothing and styling were quite personalized.

Since they were the so-called second citizens, they also had freely disposable salaries in the hospital for maintaining their image.

The new Daji's novel ancient costume in the hospital was eagerly imitated by the people here. Unfortunately, this city had been stagnant for decades, and they couldn't find a place to make so many ancient costumes.

So they each displayed their unique skills, some even tearing down curtains to hastily create similar outlandish outfits.

When this hastily generated "Demon Queen" appeared in Yu Qing's ward, his reaction shocked everyone.

The moment Yu Qing saw the Demon Queen enter, he leaped directly from the bed and hugged her tightly, sobbing uncontrollably!

Everyone thought he had just met his dream lover.

Little did they know that the appearance of this "Demon Queen" had touched the deepest emotions within him.

When he was eleven or twelve years old, his mother often dressed like this, performing for the amusement of the people in the First Paradise.

Whether in appearance or costume, this "Demon Queen" bore six or seven parts of his mother's resemblance. As a lonely individual, how could he not feel profoundly sorrowful?

The dream came and went quickly. When the "Demon Queen" mistakenly thought Yu Qing was infatuated with her and made some intimate gestures, Yu Qing instantly sobered up.

This test failed again. The key was that Yu Qing was already impatient to leave this place!

The terminal once again performed a psychological trajectory calculation on Yu Qing's behavior and concluded that he was a traditional and emotional man, with a natural sense of intimacy towards all women.

It combined the characteristics of Yu Qing's existing three humanoid women, Daji, Yan'er, and Furong, and, referencing his longing for his mother, formulated the model of his ideal woman.

After optimizing and sorting all humanoid women in the hospital and unopened products, Doctor No. 9574128063, who performed Yu Qing's surgery, was designated as the top love seed candidate.

She immediately took action.

Early that morning, Yu Qing's attending physician came for rounds.

Yu Qing asked with a grin, "My dearest angel, can I leave today?"

The physician said, "I need to examine you more closely. And don't call me angel anymore, my name is Bao Si. Calling me Bao Si is more intimate."

"Hmm? What a coincidence, just like our Daji, another demon queen!"

Of course, it wasn't a coincidence. This was deduced by the terminal based on Yu Qing's naming patterns, which is why Doctor No. 9574128063 was renamed Bao Si.

Bao Si said, "Is that so? It seems we have a strong connection!"

With that, Bao Si sat on the bed and, without a word, placed Yu Qing's head on her lap, saying: "Darling, don't move, let me check the wound healing... Looks good... Oh, I heard you were injured while escaping from the rainforest?"

"Yes, I think I told you..."

Bao Si gently pressed her small hand against Yu Qing's lips and said: "Darling, don't speak. There are many unknown ancient viruses in the rainforest, and if you get infected, it will cause severe respiratory diseases. I need to confirm you haven't contracted anything before I can let you go..."

Yu Qing hummed in acknowledgment.

Then Bao Si leaned down to his chest and said, "Let me listen to your lung sounds..."

Yu Qing's heart skipped a beat; this didn't seem like a medical examination!

A faint, subtle fragrance emanated from her, and her soft body pressed against his face—this was clearly an attempt to seduce him.

However, he pretended not to notice. Bao Si should be a more advanced humanoid woman than Yao Dan, and her emotions might be even more human than humans, so he couldn't put emotional pressure on her.

Bao Si listened for a while, and seeing no response from Yu Qing, she had to straighten up, put his head back, and slowly asked: "No abnormalities found for now, but I need you to stay here for a few more days because those viruses have an incubation period."

"No, no, no, I won't get any viruses..."

At this moment, Yu Qing saw tears welling up in Bao Si's eyes and quickly said, "Am I... wrong?"

Bao Si's first offensive had failed, so she needed tears to launch her second.

At this moment, her pitiful appearance indeed made Yu Qing's heart tremble.

She replied, "I'm just concerned about you, worried that you might have contracted a virus. To be honest, sometimes I wish someone would care about me like that. But in this cold world, it's as if I don't exist!"
